< Hosea 14 >

1 Turn back, O Israel, unto Jehovah thy God, For thou hast stumbled by thine iniquity.
Oe, Isarel, nang teh nama e yonnae kecu dawk hoi na rawk toung dawkvah, Jehovah Cathut koe bout ban leih.
2 Take with you words, and turn to Jehovah, Say ye unto Him: 'Take away all iniquity, and give good, And we do render the fruit of our lips.
Lawk sin laihoi Cathut koe ban nateh, ahni koe kai dawk kaawm e yonnae pueng hah na takhoe pouh haw. Bout na dâw haw. Ka pahni dawk hoi thuengnae hah ka sak awh han.
3 Asshur doth not save us, on a horse we ride not, Nor do we say any more, Our God, to the work of our hands, For in Thee find mercy doth the fatherless.'
Assiria ni kaimouh na rungngang mahoeh. Kaimouh teh marang ransa lah kaawm a mahoeh toe. Meikaphawknaw koe, nangmouh teh kaimae Cathut doeh bout ka tet awh mahoeh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nara ni nang koe lungmanae ouk a coe, telah dei awh.
4 I heal their backsliding, I love them freely, For turned back hath Mine anger from him.
Ka lungkhueknae roum vaiteh, hnam na thun takhai e heh ka dam sak han, aphu laipalah ka lungpataw han.
5 I am as dew to Israel, he flourisheth as a lily, And he striketh forth his roots as Lebanon.
Kai ni tadamtui patetlah Isarel lathueng ka o pouh han. Ahnimouh teh lili pei patetlah a kamhlawng awh vaiteh, Lebanon mon e thingnaw patetlah a khawngyang a pabo awh han.
6 Go on do his sucklings, And his beauty is as an olive, And he hath fragrance as Lebanon.
A kangnaw teh naw awh vaiteh, olivekung patetlah khet ahawi han. Lebanon mon patetlah a hmuitui han.
7 Return do the dwellers under his shadow, They revive [as] corn, and flourish as a vine, His memorial [is] as wine of Lebanon.
Taminaw ni hote thing tâhlip dawk kho bout a sak awh han. Ahni teh cang patetlah a roung han, misur patetlah a roung han. Lebanon misurtui patetlah a min kamthang han.
8 O Ephraim, what to Me any more with idols? I — I afflicted, and I cause him to sing: 'I [am] as a green fir-tree,' From Me is thy fruit found.
Ephraim ni kai teh, meikaphawk hoi bangmouh kâkuetnae kaawm ati han. Ahnie lawk ka thai pouh vaiteh, ka khetyawt han. Kahringsuep e hmaicakung patetlah ka o teh, nang teh kaie lungmanae dawk a paw hoi na kawi han.
9 Who [is] wise, and doth understand these? Prudent, and knoweth them? For upright are the ways of Jehovah, And the righteous go on in them, And the transgressors stumble therein!
Apimouh a lungkaang. Ahni niteh, hetnaw hah a thai panuek han doeh. Apimouh kho ka pouk thai, ahni niteh, hetnaw hah a panue han. Cathut e lamthung teh a lan. Tami kalannaw ni a dawn awh han. Tami kahawihoehe naw teh, hote lamthung dawk kamthui vaiteh a tâlaw awh han.
